Scholastic wrestling is the commonly-use name of the style of amateur wrestling practiced at the high school and middle (junior high) school level in the United States. It is a modification of collegiate wrestling. Scholastic wrestling is also practiced in various wrestling clubs among younger participants and is more well known in those instances as folkstyle wrestling. According to an Athletics Participation Survey taken by the National Federation of State High School Associations, boys' wrestling ranked eighth in terms of the number of schools sponsoring teams, with 9,445 schools participating in the 2006-07 school year. Also, 257,246 boys participated in the sport during that school year, making scholastic wrestling the sixth most popular sport among high school boys. Scholastic wrestling is currently practiced in 48 of the 50 states; only Arkansas and Mississippi do not officially sanction scholastic wrestling for high schools and middle schools. Arkansas will begin sanctioning high school wrestling starting in the 2008-09 season.
